A Sunset in IrelandDrypoint and etching, 1863, Schneiderman 47 (XIII/XIV); edition unknown. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. Signed and dated in the plate, lower left. Signed in pencil, lower right. This is a fine impression of the penultimate state. The margins are full with a deckle edge on all sides. The condition is very good other than a little weakening along the plate mark at top.

A Sunset in IrelandDrypoint, 1863, Schneiderman 47 (xiii/XIV), edition unknown. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. Signed in the plate and signed in pencil. This is a superb, rich impression printed on laid paper. The margins are full apart from a small loss in the upper right corner. There's a faint suggestion of toning within an earlier mat opening.

Combe BottomEtching and drypoint, 1860, Schneiderman 32 (exact state unknown). 4 1/2 x 5 15/16 in. Signed in pencil, lower right. With the number 29 in pencil on the left, possibly a reference to the Drake catalogue number for Haden's prints. This is a very fine impression printed on cream laid paper. The margins are fairly narrow and there are a couple of skilfully repaired splits in the margin at left, away from the platemark. We are not exactly sure which state this is according to the Schneiderman descriptions. We've located two impressions which are the same as our copy; one in the de Young/Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco, and the other in the the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia.ON HOLD
